Investigating the Relationships between SAT Scores, High School GPA, Undergraduate Precalculus Grade, and Calculus Grade
Rabideau, M.; Starnes, A.
PRIMUS, v33 n6 p691-704 2023
In this paper, we study how well SAT scores, high school GPA, and undergraduate precalculus grades relate to undergraduate calculus grades at a 4-year private nonprofit university that does not have a placement exam. In addition, we compare the success in calculus of two groups of students, both of whom require two semesters to pass calculus. The first group takes calculus twice (failing the first attempt) and the second group takes precalculus followed by calculus.
